Description

  The present invention is a strength training in which a strength training function is added to a chair so that a relatively weak person such as an elderly person, a certified caregiver, or a schoolchild can perform strength training on a daily basis at home, school, facility, etc. Related to chairs.

  Generally, the strength training machines that are commercially available are mainly for fitness and can be subjected to high loads, but are therefore quite expensive in price. On the other hand, for those with relatively weak muscle strength, such as elderly people, certified caregivers, and school children, training with a high load on the muscle is not necessary, and a device that can apply a relatively low load is sufficient. Moreover, since it is desirable that these people train on a daily basis, a training machine that can be safely and easily used at home, school, facility, etc. is required.

  For chair-type strength training equipment, for example, the following prior art has been proposed.

  Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 11-113664 discloses an armrest portion that rotates independently of a seat portion for the purpose of performing muscle strength training while being used as a normal chair, and to add an auxiliary function of torsional motion of the waist. A “chair” is disclosed (Patent Document 1).

  JP 2005-334602 A discloses that an elderly person, a rehabilitation trainer, and the like perform muscle strength training at home and facilities without difficulty and perform muscle strength training of the upper limbs, lower limbs and trunk, A “muscle training chair” to which a rubber band is attached is disclosed (Patent Document 2).

  Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2001-218867 discloses that it can be used as a seat chair when not in use, and a connection pad is detachably connected to the pedestal and the angle can be adjusted for the purpose of enabling various training methods. A training device "is disclosed (Patent Document 3).

  Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2005-342398 discloses a “muscular strength training device” including a chair portion, an arm, a knee pad and a load mechanism for the purpose of being easy to sit down, easy to attach a lower limb to a holding portion, and to be securely fixed. (Patent Document 4).

  However, since there are few strength training machines suitable for elderly people, certified caregivers, schoolchildren, etc., and those that can be installed at home, school, facilities, etc. are required, the applicant of the present application Developed a strength training chair with a strength training function added to the chair so that people with relatively weak strength, such as certified caregivers and school children, can perform strength training on a daily basis at home, school, and facilities. An application has been filed (Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2008-49116, Patent Document 5).

Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 11-113644 JP 2005-334602 A JP 2001-218867 A JP 2005-342398 A JP 2008-49116 A

  A specific problem to be solved by the present invention is to provide a strength training chair that can further improve the strength training chair so that elderly people or certified caregivers can easily perform training and can add training types. The purpose is to do.

  In order to solve the above-mentioned problem, the invention according to claim 1 is a chair part having an original seating function, and a training unit attached so as to be stored below the seat part of the chair part where the subject sits. In the strength training chair, the training unit is attached to the center of the lower surface on the front side of the seat portion by a rotation shaft, and is pivoted in the vertical direction within the range of the use position from the storage position, and the distal end portion of the support portion An arm portion that is attached by a rotating shaft and pivots vertically, a pressing portion that is attached to the tip of the arm portion and that contacts the subject's lower limb, and is connected to the arm portion to apply a load when the subject trains muscles The training unit is set from the storage position to the use position in a state where the subject sits on the seat of the chair when the subject trains muscles. Characterized in that it.

  Further, the invention according to claim 2 is a strength training chair having a chair portion having an original seating function and a training unit attached so as to be stored below the seat portion of the chair portion where a subject sits. The training unit is attached to the distal ends of the left and right legs protruding from the front side of the chair by a rotating shaft, and the left and right arms are pivoted in the vertical direction. It is composed of a pressing unit that comes into contact, and a load means that is connected to each of the arm units and applies a load when the subject trains muscles, and the subject sits on the seat of the chair unit when muscles train The training unit is set from the storage position to the use position.

  In addition, the invention according to claim 3 is a strength training chair having a chair portion having an original seating function and a training unit attached so as to be stored below the seat portion of the chair portion where a subject sits. The training unit has a support part that slides in the front-rear direction within the range from the installation storage position to the use position at the center of the lower surface of the seat part, an arm part that attaches inside the support part and slides in the front-rear direction, It is composed of a pressing portion that is attached to the tip portion and abuts on the subject's foot, and a load means that is connected to the arm portion and applies a load when the subject trains the muscle, and when the subject trains the muscle, The training unit is set from a storage position to a use position while sitting on a seat.

  The invention according to claim 4 is characterized in that a training unit capable of performing shoulder press training is arranged behind the chair portion according to claims 1 to 3.

  The invention according to claim 5 is characterized in that a training unit capable of performing shoulder press training is fixed to a backrest portion of the chair portion according to claims 1 to 3.

  As described above, the training unit is set from the storage position to the use position while the subject is sitting on the chair when the muscles are trained, so the training part can be pulled out after sitting on the chair Therefore, elderly people and certified caregivers can easily carry out training.

  Also, a training unit that can perform shoulder press training is placed behind the chair part, or a training unit that can perform shoulder press training is fixed to the back part of the chair part, so an upper body training function is added. be able to.
